- Thinking of purchasing some filters for your lenses? Or, do you have filters already that fit some - but not all - of your lenses? Whether you're looking into neutral density (ND), variable ND, polarizers, UV filters, or unique options like the Tiffen Black Pro-Mist, regardless of what you're considering, many videographers and photographers are going to come across a common challenge. Specifically, this is how to adapt your assortment of filters to your selection of lenses.
In this video, I'll discuss three important tips to consider when purchasing filters for your lenses, and ultimately deciding how to adapt them across your lenses. And while step-up rings themselves may be a commonly known way to go, there are a wide variety of options out there to choose from, thus I'll provide my personal recommendation for step-up rings that I've been happy with.

been very educational man! looking to buy my first step up ring, I currently have the 35mm Sony FE with the filter thread of 55mm and i have a 55mm ND filter on it. However as you said buy the biggest filter thread, can i stack my 55mm ND filter TOGETHER with a step up ring if i want to buy a pro mist of 87mm filter thread and be able to use both of them at the same time?
Thanks! That's a good question...most filters with have threads on them to allow adding additional filters/step up rings on top of them. Thus you should be able to technically stack the 55mm ND with the 87 Pro Mist (with a step up ring in between), though I'd be a bit cautious about vignetting, etc. in a setup like that, so you might have to test that out.
@@andrewsaraceni thanks! looking forward to more of your videos. Just found out about your channel today by searching about step up rings 😂
Great video for this guy who just bought an X-S10. Quick question though. I have 67, 52, 49 and 46 sized filter requirements for my lenses. Please confirm I'd want to get three step up rings for the smaller lenses to step up to the 67mm filters I'll be purchasing? Thanks man!
Thanks, and congrats on the purchase! Yes, so you'd want to get step-up rings for each of the 46, 49 and 52mm lenses/sizes (to 67mm) so they'll fit your 67mm filters.
@@andrewsaraceni Thank you Andrew.
nice video
Thanks!
This has been very helpful. What are your thoughts on the NiSi Brass Pro step up rings? Are they worth buying or are the Breakthrough Photography step up rings better?
Thanks, glad to hear that! Haven't tried the NiSi's - they make great stuff, but I've been thrilled with the Breakthrough Photography step-up rings thus far.
@@andrewsaraceni Thanks! :)
Just got into photography using moment lens products and filters. 62mm adapter for the lens, 62mm-72mm step upring-72mm cpl, step down ring 72-62mm step down, then a 62mm vnd filter. Will this work or will it creat vinetting?
You're probably fine there since the lens filter thread is 62mm, and (after the step-up to the CPL) the step-down to the VND ends at 62mm. Step down rings can cause vignetting if you're adapting a filter smaller than the lens filter thread; so it's usually better to stack filters at the same thread size if you can.
What happens if you stack many many step up rings making the filter more far from the lens? Could it create some sort of vignetting based on the focal length?
Generally it's not an issue, unless you're doing step down rings and have many of those (where they get smaller as you go).
